[Hidden in the mist]

neat

This is a damn cool loop. I especially like the beginning, sounds great. All the percussion and various instruments are utilized well; it all sounds great. Nice job, 5/5

leaderoffheidiots responds:

5/5 but 9/10,
im very glad you liked it but next time please tell me what i could do to get that extra point from you

[From Inside]

wow

This is really REALLY good. I'm really astounded, its been along time since I've heard professional level rock on NG. Everything really sounds great; I love the vocals and guitar riffs, they're really creative and bring this song past just a generic rock song. Drums are also great; I'm a drummer also, and those are some great beats, really add to the song while not being distracting, well done there. Overall the song is really creative and fun to listen (especially the guitar solo), fantastic job
5/5 and 10/10

Satoris responds:

Hey, thanks very much for the review. Sorry I didn't get to you sooner, I'm in the middle of moving and it's hard for me to get to a computer unless I'm at work because I haven't had the chance to get the electricity turned on! >.< Anyway, thanks for the drum compliments, I'm the drummer of the band, it means a lot. Thanks again for listening.

Holy mother of god

this is AWESOME. I'm a percussionist, and am a bit obsessed with great sounding drums, and my god, this is well done. How could you think my song's percussion was good when you've made this? The bongos are incredible, tamborine and triangle backs it perfectly, and then the cross sticking tops it off brilliantly, its like some wierd rock/samba. The piano is also well done, I love how the strings and piano intertwine near the beginning, and then the drums come back in full swing. Right about 1:20 is the coolest, the piano melody really expands and then the guitar comes in... this hardly sounds electronic, which is a hard accomplishment. My only critique AT ALL is the ending, I'm guessing you just got bored or ran out of ideas...? but a proper ending would pretty much guarentee it being one of my favorite songs.

Really, this is fantastic, a shame the score is so low. You blended about 5 different genres (classical, rock, jazz, samba) perfectly, and it sounds incredible. I mean, jesus man, this song is so close to being one of the coolest things ever, make an ending that does the rest of the song justice!! Until then, I'm fiving the shit outta this thing

Musical-Pants responds:

I really appreciate the review!
I still mean to extend it, but my progress has been hampered by a corrupt file, so now i'll have to use a backup.
As for the genres, it went originally into classical rock, but it didn't seem to fit.
So now we have new wave, and i'm beggining to wonder if it even fits there.
But again, thanks a bunch for the review, and watch out sometime soon for the finished product.

[Station of Depression]

Well done

Man, I really enjoyed this. The ambience sounds fantastic, those pads are very atmospheric and create a really unique feel. The beginning also sounds great, makes me imagine a subway full of people with no sound whatsoever, just moving along aimlessly. I really enjoyed this, thanks for a great listen

Check out my MAC entry (voluble) if you could, I'd love to hear what you think of it :D

ElectricalBypass responds:

I am Very very glad you liked it! I sure will listen to your song.

[Quest of Eve Main Theme]

wow

This is incredibly well done, very emotional. Good luck in the contest, this is a fantastic song

Bosa responds:

Thanks a bunch, matey! I'm happy you enjoyed it and I wish you luck in the future!

[just wanted]

mmmm

soo good. loved it, keep it up

snayk responds:

:) Thanks!

[my plastic face]

nice

This is really cool. The only IDM i've ever enjoyed has been your stuff, and you certainly didn't break that trend. As always, the pad in the background sounds fantastic, reminds me of the music used in David Firth's animation (the guy who made saladfingers). Anyway, great job, good luck in the comp

snayk responds:

:)

Thanks!

[Tears of Remorse]

wow

This is really incredible. Its very emotional, the piano is just perfect. Nothing more to say... I dont stand a chance in the comp with this in there.

BlazingDragon responds:

Don't say that! Have some faith in yourself. :) Honestly, I'm really glad DJ-Immune will be judging and not submitting. His piece was incredible in my opinion.

Thank you so much for the review. Good luck with your submission!

[Cayur - Achaia]

wow

This is very cool, and very well done. All the classical parts are beautifully made, all the piano sounds fantastic, and i love how it changes into a wierd IDM feel at 4:34. Its got so many different feels and synths, its great that you added so much variety. Definately an emotional piece, I hope it does well in teh comp!

sculpted-cold responds:

Thanks! The only problem is I don't really know much about EQing woodwinds and stuff. I might upload another version later when I read more into it. Haha, the drum section was kinda' thrown in at the last minute for writing this. I think it fits and I'm glad I didn't make it too busy...otherwise it would just sound like garbage.

Thank you for the kind words! I hope it does well the comp as well.

["I Will Find You" DEMO -[N]-]

awesome!

Wow man, this is really cool, I think the most sophisticated, if not the best, of your works. The best part by far is the buildup from about :45 to 1:15...just sounds fantastic. Its got a happy hardcore feel, and it sounds awesome, and I think the rest of the song from that point on is awesome. I personally think that the part at 1:50 could use some piano, not as a main melody, but simply in the background. Another criticism would be the first half; I think with vocals it will sound better, but right now it simply isn't as interesting as it could be, so I would suggest adding some trancey ambience and background sounds to spice it up and keep things interesting. All around, its very well done, I like it alot. 5/5 and 9/10. Excited to hear the full version :D

Nintechno responds:

Hells yea!
I agree about the start of the song. I left it quiet because I did not want to drown out the vocals. But I think I can still add some stuff.
Thanks for the review!
